Newspaper advertising is ad- mittedly far more effective than any other. It reaches further and finds access to more people. The article published by one newspa-, per is printed by others and has the benefit of all these different circuIations. The prosperity of communities, like that of the suc-- cessful merchant, IS advanced by judiclous advertising. The news paper can be made of the greatest value to any community. It speaks at once to thousands. Each day it is penetrating all parts of the United States, either to it's sub scribers or its hundreds of eX- changes. From it's columns other newspapers throughout the Union are daily making extracts. East. West, North and South your local newspaper travels and is welcome visitor.-Phenix Gazette.

MT. Watterson IndOrses Him.

Mir. Henry Watterson concludes an editorial letter in the Louis vile Courier Journal on the ad- ministration of President Cleve- land as follows: ''He is an honest man. He is a plan, direct man. He has shown himselfa courageous man. As a watchdog of the treas ury, he is not like the little nous ing terrier in Congress who affects that office, but a great, shaggy Fido, who saves the money of the people by the barrel and protects the acres ot the people by the mil lion. He has plenty of horse sense, and has learned more the last two years than he knew in all his life before. If the country goes any further for President it will surely fare worse. He will be re-nominated, and 1 think re- elected, and the people can say they retained him, as Parson Primrose said of the wife whom he had chosen, as she had chosen her wedding-gown. not for fine glossy appearance, but for those qualities that wear well.'"

An Iron Eating Worm.

A German paper-name not given-quoted by the Iron and Coal Trades Review of London, England, tells a story, which, how ever improbable, seems to have every appearance of truth. The account is given as follows: The existence has just been discovered of a detestable microbe which feeds upon iron with as much gluttony as the phylloxera upon the vine. Some time ago the greatest consternation existed among the engineers employed on the railway at Hagen by the acci- dents occurring all at the same place, proving that some terrible defect must exist either in the ma ter1al or construction of the rails. The German government directed an inquiry to be made and com mission of surveillance to be form ed for the purpose of maintaining constant watch at the point where the accidents had occurred. It was not. however, until after six months had elapsed that the dis covery was made. One of the en- ployes had observed that the sur face of the rails appeared to be corroded, as if by accid, to the ex- tent of 100 yards. The rail was taken up and broken, and it was perceived that it was literally hol- lowed out by thin gray worm, to which the qualification of ''railov- erous" was assigned, and by which name It is to be classed in natural history. The worm is said to be two centimeters in length, and of the size of the prong of a silver fork in circumference, It is of light-gray color, and on the head carries two little glands filled with a corrosive secretion, which is elected every ten minutes upon the iron. This liquid renders the iron soft and spongy, and of the color of rust. and it IS then greed fly devoured by the insect. "There is no exaggeration," says the off cial report of the calamity, Sin the assertion that this creature, for it's size, is one of the most voracious kind, for it has devoured thirty-six kilograms of rails in a fortnight" and Scientific Press, San Francisco.

An intelligent professional man had long been troubled with an in active liver, which caused him a world of pain. A friend advised him to take a glass of hot water with the juice of half a lemon squeezed into it, but no sugar, night and morning. He tried it, and found himself better almost immediately. His daily headaches, which medicine had failed to cure, left him; his appetite improved, and he gained several pounds within a few weeks.

A young conple in Dakota re- ceieved the following: ''From groom to bride, one bull pup, one yaller dog, pair of water spaniels, and pure meerschaum pipe with tobacco; from bride to groom, one good shotgun, one bowie knife,- rife and three dogs; from parents of bridegroom, one fiddle, one banjo, spotted pup and SIX pounds of tobacco; from the Shotgun Club, of which the young couple were members, one English mastlff and pair of silver-mounted pistols.

Summers Physical Greatness.

Mir. Sumner stood six feet two inches high without his shoes, and he was so well built that his height was only noticeable when he was near a person of ordinary size. But there was a manner about him, a free swing of the arm, stride, a pose of his shaggy head, sway of his broad shoulders. that gave to those who knew him best the idea that he was of heroic size. Then, too, there was something in the intent look of his deep-set eyes, his corrugated brow, the frown born of intense thought, and his large head, made to seem yet larger by its crown of thick, heavy, longish gray hair, all of which gave the idea of physical great ness; but with his frequent smile the set frown passed, his whole appearance changed, and his face became like a dark lantern sud denly lighted. His smile effected wonderful transformation in his whole appearance, and it set up peculial sympathy between himself and its recipient.
 For one of his sedentary habits, he had extraordinary strength, and yet he was not an athlete. While in Washington his only exercise was walking, and as he believed that it was the pace rather than the distance which tells, when op- portunity offered he would go at rate that amazed beholders. Some persons attempting to join and keep up with him only sue ceeded by taking an occasional hop, skip and jump. such as chil- dren practice when walking with their parents. Up to the time of his injuries he walked much in Washington, for, as he said, he could outwalk omnibuses. and give them long odds-Arnold Burges in The Cosmopolitan.

It is a singular fact that the United States, while strong in re- sources, is entirely dependent up- on foreign countries for the gold and tinsel which is used in decor ating her officers of the army and navy when on dress parade. 4 military officer, no matter what flag he fights under, must have a certain amount of glitter about his; shoulders or he cannot do justice to the government which employs him. Epaulets and shoulder knots are as essential to well regulated army or navy as are the guns and ammunition used on the enemy. Yet, in spite of the fact that there are COCO or 5000 officers in the United States who must have gold cord, gold lace and gilded epaulets, there is not a single manufactory in the country where this war material' can be made.-BostoH AdvartiSnr

Pasted over the desk of the city editor of Georgia paper are the following instructions:
 All brides are lovely, beautiful and accomplished, except they be old and tough widows, and then they are am1able and cultivated.
 "All merchants who advertise are enterprising, wide-awake and a credit to our city. The names of those who do not advertise must not appear in our paper.
 All old lawyers are able and worthy place on the Supreme Bench. Young lawyers are prom ising and silver-tounged.
 'Conductors on passenger trains are gentlemanly and courteous.
 "Doctors are eminent.
 "Farmers are intelligent.
 Candidates who put their an- nouncements in our paper are gaining ground every day. Those who do not announce are likely to be defeated.
 "Under no circumstances must these rules be broken. r. Med dleton Pryor, editor and ,proprie- or"-Arkansaw Traveller.

The following from one of our exchanges so fully and clearly ex- presses our views of the subject that we copy it without comment: "You have an undoubted right to stop newspaper when you feel disposed, upon payment of arrear- ages. Do not hesitate to do so on account of the tenderness of feel ing for the editor. Don't you sup pose he would stop buying sugar of you, or meat, clothing or dry goods, if he thought he was not getting his moneys worth, or de- sired to patronize some other con cern? And why should you not exercise the same privilege with regard to him? And when you discontinue paper, do so man fully. Don't be so spiteful as to throw it back to the postmaster with contemptuous I don't want it any longerp and have refused written on the margin, and have the paper returned to the editor. No gentleman ever stopped it in that way-no matter if his head is covered with gray hair that should be honorable. If you do not wish to longer receive a newspaper, write a note to the editor like a man, saying so-and be sure that the arrearages are paid. This is the only way to stop a newspaper.

Trees are often guides to the Sc
lection Of residences. Numerous
trees with a rich foliage and rank
underground of ferns or moss indi-
cate a damp, stagnant atmosphere ;
while abundance of flowers and
fruit imply a dry, sunny climate.
Children will be healthiest where
most flowers grow, and old people
live longest where our common
fruits ripen best, as those condi-
tions of vegetation indicate eli
mate which is least favorable to
bronchitis and rheumatism.
Pines and their companions, the
birches, indicate a dry, rocky, san
dy or gravel soil; beeches a dryish,
chalky or gravel soil; elms and
lines, a rich and somewhat damp
soil oaks and ashes, a heavy clay
soil, and poplars and willows a low,
damp or marshy soil.
Many of these trees are found
growing together, and it is only
when one species predominates in
number and vigor that it is truely
characteristic of the soil and that
portion Of the atmosphere in con
ncctiun with it.

in by masses of stalactites, and
overhead chandelier was formed
by cluster of these wonderful
stone icicles. The two entrances
were separated by huge stone pill
lar, ten feet thick, evidently formed
by drippings. Afterwards we de-
scended on the right of the pit into
the Earthquake Room," where
there were unmistakable signs of a
slip. On the right the inclined
roof had descended and forced
some of its stalactites into the floor,
breaking and pushing up the clay
for several yards. About rod
from this there was, firmly attached
to the floor and the roof, a pillar
seven feet high and twelve inches
thick. 1t was certainly formed by
dripping, as the union of the por-
tions which grew from above and
below were distinct. 1t had been
forced at least fifteen degrees out of
its original perpendicular position
and there was a fracture near the
roof. The top of the pillar was
moved twelve inches, though at
tachcd to the rock at the original
place. From this it was evident
that the relative position of the
roof and the floor had been changed
ten or twelve inches. This cave
was visited last year by party
from the Smithsonian Institute,
but as they remained only short
time it is probable that some of the
most interesting features escaped
their observation. There were other
passages which the earthquake
seems to have closed.

was intense. Ellen Gray, with a
loud shrek, fell to the floor, where
she was permitted to lie, tor all
eyes were turned upon her brother.
Pistol in hand, the young man was
clearing a path to the door. No
one dared to lay hands on him, for
he threatened to shoot the first one
who touched him, and thus he
reached the door leading to the
street.
On the treshold he paused and
faced the excited occupants of the
courtroom.

ner Tenney's place." he cried. eff

shall not prove it and hang me-"
The next moment there was a
loud report, and a human body,
after swaying for an instant, fell
heavily to the floor. Hiram Gray
had taken his own life. The tragic
occurrence, as might be supposed.
put an end to Abner Tenney's trial.
1t established his innocence in the
eyes of all, and the guilty was be-
yond punishment of an earthly tri-
bunal.
TERRIBLE PLOT.
Upon her recovery Ellen Gray
unfolded one of the darkest plots
on record. She confessed that her
testimony was but tissue of false
hoods; that she knew that her
brother had killed the farmer for
the purpose of getting his money,
and accused young Tenney in or
der to prevent him from marrying
Eva Heymann. Ellen, piqued at
Tenney's refusal to court her, had
entered into the plot with revenge
full spirit. But the game had failed.
Of course the minister's son was
released, and Ellen Gray left the
village shortly afterwards and re-
sided up to the time death over
took her in Omaha, Nebraska.
Abner Tenney, one year after
his release from Jail, married Eva
Heymann, and both of them are
still living, being at the present
time residents of Pittsburgh, Penn
sylvania. The secret which Abner
Tenney SO zealously guarded as to
his whereabouts OH the night of the
Heymann murder, was not made
known until many years after he
had settled down, when one of his
friends, John French, previous to
moving to New Orleans, stated that
a party Of five, among whom was
Tenney and himself, went to Har-
risburg on n general carousal, and
for the sake of his father, not wish
ing him to know of his downfall
from a gentleman to a gambler, he
(Tenney) refused to confess.
